The science department is basically college prep oriented and consists of courses in biology, chemistry, physics, and physical science. Freshmen began with a required course in physical science. Biology students explored the intriguing world of nature with the basic concepts of animal and plant life. Later in the year emphasis was concentrated on higher forms oflife. The chemistry section of the department was based on two approaches this year: the chemical bond approach, and the traditional approach. Chemistry students concentrated on the uses and properties of common elements. A relatively small number of students took physics. These students coped with energy, work, gas, motion, heat, and electricity.
